Superbowl or First in Math?
Hopefully you won't have to make the choice, but I hope that YOUR team emerges as a winner! For Emerson to move ahead and PASS up the competition in First in Math, we'll need a game plan. To start with we need to go on the OFFENSE and score as many points as possible. So regardless of whether you are a Packers fan, a Steelers fan, a HALFTIME fan, or a fan of the superbowl COMMERCIALS, I hope that the kids will still have lots of time on the computer to make sure that the EMERSON EAGLES win!
Here are the STATS going into the big weekend:
Stickers Earned: 149,396
Average Stickers per Team: 4,819
Math Problems solved: 448,188
Worksheets Saved: 44,819
Teacher Hours Saved: 527
We know that we can easily reach 150,000 and move possibly into the 152,000 range tonight. Tomorrow in Saturday School, we'll have our FIRST STRING-at least 45 students- all paying the 24 game for at about 3 hours each. We may be able to reach 155,000 stickers by noon and at 165,000 by the end of the weekend. That would be about a 10% gain in one weekend!
Saturday at noon is kind of like HALFTIME. I'll send out a COMMERCIAL on my blog to let you know how we are doing. Hopefully we'll be halfway to achieving success!
By the time the SUPERBOWL begins, Emerson hopes to have scored 161,000 stickers. Then we'll be at the TWO MINUTE WARNING. There will be no time to waste, and IF YOUR TEAM WINS, your student should really pour it on and rack up as many points as possible. All the fans of the LOSING TEAM may be too sad to play...
When bedtime comes on Sunday night, Emerson should have enough points to pass up at least two other schools in the SUPERBOWL WEEKEND of First in Math. While you already have a favorite- the PACKERS or the STEELERS- whatever you do, make sure that EMERSON wins in FIM.
Let's go team Emerson!!!

Question of the Day:
What's up? That's a great question, but before you say "the sky," you had better think about how to answer this question correctly. Remember that you have to answer in a complete sentence and you have to respond correctly to the question. Here are a couple of possible responses:
There's not much going on except a lot of homework!
So much is going on, I don't know where to start. What's up with you? Pleas ask this question to at least 3 people
Writing:
I have received a few letters over the past few days from Emerson students. One of the most memorable letters was from 3 students who asked why we don't get to go on more field trips. If you really want something, it is worth writing a letter asking for it.
Upcoming Events:
Saturday School is this Saturday from 8 am until 12:20. The computer carts will be there with opportunities for First in Math. But also, we are going to have a garden work day on Saturday. Saturday School Students will get to go out to the garden to plant potatoes. If anyone would like to join together in our community garden on Saturday from 8 until 11 am, please come on out!
First In Math
Congratulations to Mr. Cortez' Class- Team of the Week!
Yesterday afternoon during HEARTS, I chalenged the students to try to increase our sticker count from 135,000 up to 140,000. That was a huge goal, and eventhough we didn't make it, we almost made it. Last night we reached 139,500!Remember, First in math is not going to be your priority in the classroom, but you may have the opportunity to play from time to time after you have completed your independent work. It may not be as fun, but Pearson SuccessNet will assign math work that is just perfect for your level.
Rule Reminders:
No runing in the hallways. Never throw any objects, like rocks or sand, at school. Always go out of your way to be generous and kind.
Lunch and Attendance:
Before I tell you what's for lunch today, I want you to know about a special lunch offer for tomorrow- you can get both the HOT DOG and the SALAD BAR tomorrow- you won't have to chose. That's tomorow, but for today you have two choices, the Farm Fresh Salad Bar, or the hot lunch. Today the hot lunch is:
If you would like to have a hot lunch, please raise your hand. Teachers, please take a count and make a note on your online attendance form.
Pledge:
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance!
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
High Expectations:
There's no choice, achieving your personal best is required every day at Emerson!
